CR in Plane of Fear

Anxarcule · #1 03-13-2015, 06:15 AM

So I decided to hop onto EQ late last night and after a bit of fighting in Fear our raid force was PvPed and I ended up dying right near the portal in. I was falling asleep on my keyboard so couldn't wait to get rezzed/ported out so now I'm left with the task of retrieving my corpse. I was hoping some more knowledgeable folks could fill me in on a few questions:

1) I've never been in the breaking group so don't know what happens upon immediately zoning in, but if I zone in will I be able to loot my corpse in safety and get a buddy to port me out, or will I be jumped the minute I zone in? Basically - is the zone in portal safe from wandering mobs?

2) Assuming #1 is no and I successfully loot my corpse and hang out by the West Wall spot, is it reasonable to try as a 56 Monk to make my way inside the temple to the port out? If I bring along invis potions + invis from undead potions + sneak is this possible? I've checked the wiki for mobs that are listed as seeing invis - are there any in particular I should watch out for in case the wiki isn't 100% correct?

3) As this was my second time in Fear I don't know the zone too well and haven't found any maps online, although did find this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPl118Ir-LU) that shows where the exit is - I'd need to walk past 6 mobs or so once I get past the ring of fire. From what I can see I need to sneak past 2 Amygdalan knights (+ pets) and a phoboplasm - can I use Invis + IVU to sneak past?

3a) Can I use the avoidance discipline to just rush past all these guys? Or can they still land hits on me from the back? Also, where does the exit portal place me?

3b) Whats the best route to get to temple? Along west wall?

Really hoping the answer to #1 is a yes, although the masochist in me might enjoy getting to the portal alive.

I'm a monk with FD so I can hopefully flop my way there carefully.

you won't be cr'ing alone unless the zone is already clear. get a bard to kite the zone in area for you so you can loot and get a port then they can agro the temple kite it a bit and zone out.

you will aggro mobs as soon as you zone in

be careful around scarelings due to the fact that they can backstab you for 400-500 damage as well as shadowstep you around, which could place you across the zone

avoid turmoil toads as well; they cast fear and can proc ghoul root if they hit you

everything outside of the fire wall sees invis, but nothing inside the fire wall sees invis except for the wraith of a shissir, which might not even be up

luckily, as a monk, you can feign your way through the zone easily as long as you're familiar with the 1-2 second window of aggro-invulnerability when standing up from a feign death; simply feign death, wait for the cooldown to refresh, stand up, walk a few feet, feign death again, rinse, repeat

if you fail a feign death, just pop stonestance and kite mobs for a few seconds until the feign death cooldown refreshes

also, you're able to right click to start looting your corpse, and then feign death, and the loot window will stay open so you can loot your corpse while feigned

popping stonestance/whirlwind/voiddance and running through the temple isn't an option considering there are tons of amygdalan knights(shadowknights) that will blow you up with harmtouches

going straight north from the portal once inside fear will run you just by the left side of the fire wall; just go up the steps in the front, circle around the back once on top, then drop down a tier or two until you find the back door to the temple, hug the left wall once inside to find the exit portal

the exit portal takes you right outside of the fear portal in feerrott

tl;dr you should be able to handle it on your own as a monk

Shoot the cleric in the opposing guild a tell if you gotta go. I don't know about other clerics, but I would have had no problem ressin ya if you asked for it last night. Ask the opposing cleric if you should plug the res or not.

We were only there for about 10 min. Just wanted to get some monk armor and a Amy tendril.

Thanks for the good advice - I'll try and acquire some pots of IVU and make my way to the portal I guess. Since I'll be running past skeleton pets and the amygdalan I assume I'd need both regular, although won't drinking a second potion cancel invis on the first potion I drink?

If so I'll try and make due with regular as the pets are green and hopefully won't pick them up when I zip by.

Looking forward to trying this tonight [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

nothing inside the firewall sees normal invis minus the wraith of shissar and if you go in LoS of him you went the wrong way.

your best bet is still to get someone capable of kiting the entrance for you first.
